From Brainfuse HelpNow comes the Summer Skills Camp, available for students in grades 3 - 12.
Research shows that even a small amount of time spent on academics over the course of the summer makes a difference.
 
The purpose of the Skills Camp is not to overwhelm students with a comprehensive survey of each academic topic, but to focus on areas that are academically significant, generated the most tutoring questions over the course of the school year, and do not require a significant time commitment over summer vacation.
